Yggdrasil Releases Excalibur VS GigaBlox from Hot Rise
Yggdrasil and Hot Rise Games have reunited for the launch of Excalibur VS GigaBlox, a new slot with Highrise Respins joining the YG Masters program

At the start of August, the iGaming publisher that breathes innovation, Yggdrasil, joined ReelPlay to launch the Hot Rise Games’ Nightmares VS GigaBlox slot.
Now, the publisher that stands for world-class entertainment has announced a similarly exciting collaboration resulting in the release of Excalibur VS GigaBlox.
The fresh slot is the latest YG Masters release from the talented crew at Hot Rise Games which continues to rely on its ReelPlay agreement to offer premier content.
Hot Rise Games’ VS series has already managed to successfully attract an impressive following thanks to previous releases including the previously mentioned Nightmares VS GigaBlox, Gods VS GigaBlox, and Monsters VS GigaBlox.
Accordingly, the new game with a focus on legendary heroes battling in search of the magical Excalibur sword, is also expected to quickly turn into a fan favorite.
Excalibur VS GigaBlox Metrics Overview
- Rows: 6
- Reels: 6
- Paylines: 50
- Volatility: Medium-High
- Max win: € 243,000
- RTP: 96%
- Min/Max Bet: €1 (min: €0.50, max: €60)
- Release date: November 21, 2023
Join the Courageous Warriors Looking for Highrise Respins
Based on the popular GigaBlox Game Engagement Mechanic from Yggdrasil, the slot features six courageous warriors players can use to generate winning combinations across any of the 50 paylines.
Each new spin will also bring at least one supersized symbol on the grid. Players who land a minimum of five shining gem symbols activate the Highrise Respins.
This feature rewards players with three respins to get started with. Each new successful spin will reset the count.
The higher each of the columns rises, the more lucrative the rewards for every symbol in the respective column.
Players who succeed in filling the top row with VERSUS icons will automatically put the wins in the columns on nitro. Lucky gamers who manage to complete the set benefit from super-charged wins.
Players Can Expect “Another Rewarding Spinning Experience”
As explained by ReelPlay’s chief executive officer, David Johnson, introducing Hot Rise Games’ freshest VS slot to the market via their partners at Yggdrasil means giving players “another rewarding spinning experience.”
The GATI-powered game which has once again brought iconic historical and fictional characters to life has been described as “another superb addition to the YG Masters program” by Yggdrasil’s chief gaming officer, Mark McGinley. He also took the opportunity to praise the excellent work of the Hot Rise crew.
Last month, ReelPlay and Light & Wonder announced a four-year expansion of their existing deal.
